Details determine success or failure: if you have pancreatic cancer, you will have 3 'micro' signals on your body, don't underestimate it
Pancreatic cancer is a very aggressive cancer, and early-stage pancreatic cancer usually causes no signs or symptoms. When the pancreatic cancer has obvious symptoms, it proves that the pancreatic cancer has reached the advanced stage or has spread to the outside of the pancreas. It is precisely because of this reason that many patients are too late for rescue, and it only takes a few months from the disease to death.
The disease is caused by the disease. Pancreatic cancer, as a disease with a very high degree of malignancy, will definitely have some clues when it occurs, but unfortunately many people ignore it.
Symptom one, jaundice
Most patients with pancreatic cancer present with jaundice prior to presentation. Jaundice is caused by a buildup of bilirubin. Bile travels through the common bile duct into the intestines to help break down fats. When the common bile duct is blocked, bile cannot reach the intestines, and the amount of bilirubin in the body increases, causing jaundice. On the other hand, pancreatic tumors may compress the common bile duct and cause jaundice.
Symptom two, abdominal or back pain
Abdominal or back pain is common in pancreatic cancer. When pancreatic cancer grows, it can press on other nearby organs, causing pain. Cancer can also spread to the nerves around the pancreas, causing severe pain in the abdomen and back.
Symptom Three, Weight Loss and Loss of Appetite
A classic symptom of pancreatic cancer is unintended weight loss. There are two reasons, one is that bile cannot enter the intestines, resulting in difficulty in digestion, and the other is that pancreatic cancer cells compete for nutrients in the body.
One reason is genetic mutation
Some patients have parents with pancreatic cancer, which increases their risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The occurrence of pancreatic cancer is actually caused by the canceration of pancreatic cells, but the canceration of the cells can only cause pancreatic cancer if they reach a qualitative change, and there are other factors at play.
The second reason is the disease factor
Long-term inflammation of the pancreas increases the risk of pancreatic cancer (especially in smokers), which is more common in people with diabetes. The reason for this is unclear. Especially in people with type 2 diabetes.
The causes of pancreatic cancer also have some factors that we cannot solve manually, such as age (older people are more likely to suffer from pancreatic cancer), gender (men are more likely to develop pancreatic cancer), etc. The causes of pancreatic cancer can be described as varied. Few patients with pancreatic cancer are able to identify the cause of the cancer.
